Previous versions of ZA Security Suite have under the Email Protection tab, a dedicated section and option for de/selecting Inbound MailSafe Protection and Outbound Mailsafe Protection.

On the current ZA Security Suite Version 9.1.507.00 the option for "Inbound MailSafe Protection" has been removed.

Please what does this imply?

Does this mean that incoming emails are not checked on this version? And what were the reasons for removing this option?

I recently came across a Trojan in a PST file that ZA Security Suite identified and quarantined. Unfortunately it was the whole PST file that was quarantined leaving the user without a PST file for Outlook to read.

Does ZA Security Suite or any one of it's programs specifically identify the email where the virus is and then treats it accordingly?

Re: Email Protection - Inbound/Outbound MailSafe Protection

The old ZA inbound protection was not a malware scanner but a filter for attachments, something you currently find in most e-mail readers nowadays. ZA will always check all e-mails and attachments `on access´ (i.e. when you open them). You are perfectly safe.
